It's been getting picked up on a lot of blogs this week, and I have to say it's been a pretty fun little game (and for Mac too!) -- Star Guard: http://vacuumflowers.com/star_guard/star_guard.html
Been addicted to the time trial mode for the last few days. I went through the regular single player mode, finally beat level 9 after 50-odd deaths-- I ain't getting through the whole thing on hard mode, that's for sure!
The storytelling/aesthetic reminds me of The Manipulator which was also pretty fun, though SG is more refined.

I'm loving Machinarium. And it plays on the Mac! (Super hard, tho.)

Yeah, I got just as much enjoyment from that as I did from the whole of Shadow Complex.

it's an amazing proof of concept; would love to see it fully fleshed out

i definitely liked that, but definitely more art piece than game, not sure how much further you could go with it without adding something more to it.
― Nhex, Thursday, 29 October 2009 13:56 (sixteen years ago)
Yeah, you'd have to add some sort of interactivity at least.

Idea #1: a gun

I realize that 1) most of you probably don't have Grid Wars (see first post in this thread) and 2) don't really give a shit about music matching up well with games, but if you get a chance, play this song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RsdMs-Whlo
and play Grid Wars with the game music turned off but the sound effects left on. The sound fx from the game and the song are in the same key and match together perfectly, whether you're blowing shit up or exploding yourself.

Jeez, that game was awesome! It kind of reminded me of the feel of Cave Story. Weird anal sex ending though
― big darn deal (Z S), Saturday, 5 December 2009 19:39 (sixteen years ago)
That game was pretty damn cool, but I burned out around the time the 12 block grids of almost identical stages starting cropping up. Nice to see they added a little control graphic at the start, and they actually put a level countdown (31 levels from the end).
― Nhex, Saturday, 5 December 2009 20:09 (sixteen years ago)
Level Up was fun. (i'm glad Z S wasn't being literal about the ending, there's at least one popular newgrounds game that ends with a graphic sex scene.)
― abanana, Sunday, 6 December 2009 09:42 (sixteen years ago)
levelup WAS fun and i kinda think ZS was being literal about that ending; what a lousy reaming I got for my time.

This is interesting, but I'm not finished yet and I suspect there's not much actual gameplay in it. Worth a look tho.

I just played that tonight! Loved the ending.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 22 December 2009 11:33 (sixteen years ago)
I dunno, I finished it now. It was a cute enough diversion but the mechanics of walking sloooooowly left to right outweighed the end a bit, for me. I like my art statement games to have a bit more game in them.
― when i was your age i was thinking about how to kill people (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 22 December 2009 11:47 (sixteen years ago)
depressed me so much i didn't play through. can someone spoil the ending here so i don't have to deal with it?

Continuity is clever, but after four levels it's enough.

That is fierce. Clever too. Night Mode is just ridic. Also it appears to have fucked my eyes up.
― Sammo Hungover (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 14 January 2010 20:15 (sixteen years ago)
ya know, turning on "night mode", it actually is kind of a good base for other puzzle game. probably one i've already played and can't remember...
